This study evaluated suicide intervention training, finding significant improvements in participants' skills during simulated interventions. However, no significant changes were observed in their overall suicide intervention abilities or attitudes.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Public Health
  • Medical Education

Background:

  • Limited research exists on evaluating suicide intervention training effectiveness.
  • Assessing the impact of training on intervention skills, attitudes, and knowledge is crucial for improving care.
  • Existing training programs require robust evaluation methods to ensure efficacy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and pilot a comprehensive evaluation method for suicide intervention training.
  • To assess the immediate effects of a 2-day suicide intervention training program.
  • To examine changes in suicide intervention abilities, attitudes, and knowledge.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a mixed-methods approach combining quantitative and qualitative data.
  • Employed the Suicide Intervention Response Inventory (SIRI) and Suicide Intervention Protocol (SIP) for skill assessment.

  • Conducted pre-post and post-test only evaluations with workshop participants.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant improvements in participants' performance during simulated suicide intervention situations were observed.
    • No significant changes were detected in overall suicide intervention abilities as measured by the SIRI.
    • Preliminary findings on attitudes and knowledge suggest areas for further investigation.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed evaluation method shows promise for assessing suicide intervention training.
    • Training significantly enhances practical skills in simulated crisis scenarios.
    • Further research is needed to fully understand the impact on attitudes and knowledge.
